Making That Next Step - All You Need To Lose Fat

It is a strange phenomenon…looking back on all those little things you've done and suddenly seeing that you have accomplished so much. Look at all the ways you are fitter.

You may not be exactly in the place you believed you were going to be…but you will have progressed further than doing absolutely nothing but worrying about starting.

It’s times like these that you should congratulate yourself.

…and Personal Motivation is the key to this success…

If you don’t have a technique to keep motivated to lose weight then chances are you won’t reach your goals of, for example, having a flatter belly in 90 days or fitting into a special outfit for say, a wedding.

I know sometimes it sounds like everyone tells you “You need to have a plan…you must have this”…but it really isn’t that difficult to create one.

Just say to yourself: I will lose that fat in 12 weeks…or whatever time period you wish…but make it realistic!

If you do have a plan AND the extra motivation to lose weight then you will get results. Simple as that. It WILL happen.

I find good motivation in a technique I decided to try: It’s called the Just The Next Step method…and it is as straightforward as it sounds.

Here it is:

• Write down what you aim to do for the task at hand – for example, to workout, this would be get changed, review what you are going to do, warm-up, exercise, warm-down, shower, write down what you did in you exercise log
• Start with the first step and only focus on going to the next one.

What happens is that you end up getting more done in less time because you only think about the next thing to do. And in general, it keeps you from over thinking.

Remember though: you still have to have a basic structure of steps to take the first few times you attempt this otherwise you will get distracted…

…and this means, especially for a fitness and weight loss program:

THE FAT ISN”T GOING TO SHIFT

So try this as motivation to lose weight if you find you don’t have the time in the day…it has the added benefit of making time magically appear from nowhere.

2 Crucial Pieces of Advice To Stop Food Cravings

You're dying to to get control of your food cravings but you just can't seem to put the pieces of the puzzle together...or you keep making the same mistakes.

You may have tried not eating the food or distracting yourself. It just doesn't work. And those cravings are driving you up the wall...holding you back from losing weight and keeping the fat on.

Well, in this video you can learn how to stop this pattern...and with the 2 tips I talk about, you can start to make a tangible change to your food cravings habits.

You learn to conquer them and get that control over the way you eat, control that you have always wanted. And it starts with 2 things...

Click on the picture below to watch the video. See how you can transform the way you handle cravings forever...and start losing that weight and fat in the process!

The most important step to beat food cravings

The most damaging mistake that you can do when trying to stop food cravings is trying to force yourself NOT to have something...

I'm referring to that time when the craving comes and you consciously say to yourself to not eat some “bad” food or drink that “bad” drink.

You know how that feels? That “forcing” yourself. The focus...the way your chest gets a bit tighter and you need to get up and sit somewhere far from the biscuits..

Or when you feel yourself having a hard time concentrating on work...you NEED to eat that slice of chocolate..but no, no, NO I HAVE TO FIGHT IT...

As you are aware, this type of occurance is not something you can maintain day after day. Maybe you stop yourself once or twice or maybe you push it to a week.

It doesn’t matter. Pretty soon you are going to fall back into old ways...in fact I'm sure you have these habits already, but you don't call them that so that you can trick yourself.

So you say “I don’t really have CRAVINGS...I just like my little treats now and then”...or “Sure only some people really have CRAVINGS, I just have a sweet tooth..”

Or “I tried stopping but you know in the end it won't do me any harm”

Yes. Denial is a terrific friend...BUT I’m not here to talk about guilt or denial and what you can do about it.

I’m talking about how you can learn to get control of that very craving, in fact CONQUER it so that you can smugly, and yes smugness is the right thing to say..how you can smugly eat any sweet food you like when YOU want...

And not have it the other way around...

So how do you begin?

The answer is to develop habits or even better...to replace habits with better ones.

So currently lets say that you always eat something sweet as part of your lunch...this is usually a well-established sweet food craving habit.

Okay. Instead of denying yourself the sweet food...have something else to eat. Like a piece of fruit or some nuts...or even a carrot. I'm not joking.

So you'll need to plan a day to bring in the other food or apply some willpower to buy the other food you are having instead. Then you need to have it with you so that you can eat this when the food craving comes.

So:

Choose what you will eat instead of that something sweet and fatty at that main time of the day when you normally have it.
Bring the other food with you or have it near to you.

Now this is the first piece of the puzzle...but a powerful one.

Also, remember that conquering cravings also fits in nicely to your fat loss plan and getting rid of those last inches of belly fat. If you want to hear more about that you can watch a cool video on it.

Ending It With That Special Other - To Lose Stomach Fat

You know there comes a time when you feel the need to to make an important lifestyle change, like finally admitting you want a better job, bigger house..or to lose stomach fat!…

And lots of things are going crazy, you may not have the focus or time and inclination to do things you usually do…you know you have to make big choices with huge consequences.

Well in all that madness it seemingly always happens…it’ll rear its ugly head. You’ll run into that awkward scene:

How do I say to my lover that I don’t want to be with them any more?

You’ve weighed it up and you and your lover have reached that crossroads. The big decision indeed.
But wait, this is no RUN OF THE MILL lover.

This lover gives the best, all the time and makes you feel you are the special one…always. This lover never gives you that judging look, lets you take them any place you want. They don't nag or expect some meaningless conversation. Just easy quality…every single time.

All they want is that you pay them attention...

This lover I’m talking about is your secret relationship with chocolate.

Now there's great advice about changing your diet and throwing out junk and processed food so that you can lose stomach fat

Don’t be eating white bread. Beware the pasta. Watch out for fried chicken and Big Macs. Things like that.

And that is true. It does help you lose belly fat and other fat to change from eating so much of these and it can help a lot that, when you have to eat carbs like this, you swap them for granary or wholemeal.

But the largest impact you can have on losing weight is to cut down heavily on the one relationship that always provides you with that certain satisfaction…

The one involving Chocolate

But you can’t just cut it out of your life…you may always need precious moments with this lover...just not EVERY DAY.

That little chocolate bar after dinner ring any bells?

So here’s a tip: Replace it with something else…a nut bar or an oat bar…or some fruit and nuts…just something else healthier.

To lose stomach fat you need to be tough!

And if it’s hard, I feel for you. I had to cut my lover out to. We have a once a week date these days, yeah it's not the same magic, it's changed…but my stomach is flatter thanks to it!

A Positive Mind Is A Great Tool For A Fat Loss Plan

When trying to get rid of belly fat, at some point, you are going to hit a wall, that point where you don't achieve anymore gain. You'll have lost a good bit of but it will appear like you have stalled and and the weight has just stopped coming off, irrespective of how well you have stuck to the fat loss plan.

Don't worry...this is all part of the process...just keep going with it...you'll push through
The key is optimism.

...and I don't just mean the sort of positive New Age thinking type of 'yeah man' stuff.

I mean the kind you build and make more powerful by following your exercise routine and eating plan.

Each little step, every day, shows you that it is possible to improve yourself and it's not something you get told or read in a book.

It's happening to you...and you are becoming better.

But how do you stay on course with a fat loss plan?


The solution is to keep a log...and do it everyday.

For one thing it builds in a habit of accountability (not a very sexy word I know but it is a very powerful principle)..and the other thing is that you can get to see the facts first hand of your progress.

So you get to reinforce that optimistic feeling if you find yourself slipping!...Even if it is two steps forward and one step back...

So remember...optimism...not just positivity is the key to keeping on your fat loss plan...

Enjoy yourself!!!

Eat more...and slim more!

Are you eating enough to get some good belly fat loss?

Why do I say this?..well because a lot of men don't eat enough food during the day and have a larger belly because of it. Even the ones that go to the gym.

So are you eating a decent-sized breakfast or just having a piece of toast?

Are you setting aside time for lunch or just grabbing something quick later?

If you aren't having your regular meals as a minimum...then you are handicapping yourself in your intentions for belly fat loss.

But why?

It's all due to blood sugar and the signals you are sending your body. If you don't eat a lot then your blood sugar is going to be more erratic. What you really want is for it to be more level...

You know when you read about the total daily calories for a man to eat and it's a value of about 2500? Well those experts aren't kidding. Eating this much helps you keep your blood sugar level...but only if you eat in the right way.

And if your blood sugar level is up and down a lot because you aren't eating in the best way you end up having these cravings to eat...and you don't always go and eat the healthy option when that happens.

A second consequence is that this up and down effect drives your body to convert more food as fat instead of using it give your energy to move about.

The great news is that you can break down your stalling belly fat loss easily. You can do this by only eating one more time in the day rather than eat a lot of little small meals

So all you have to do is eat that bit more and spread how much you eat over the day if you can.

Say eating something at 3 or 4 pm as well and making sure you have more cereal, fruit and/or yogurt for breakfast...that kind of thing.

If you are really imaginative you can add in healthier foods to eat but you know what?...just try eating more to start with and see how you feel.

What's Happening Here?...I'm Not Seeing Any Fat Loss

This is a typical scenario when you're trying to getting fitter, especially with fat loss for men...

You've been working out for a few weeks, maybe about 4 times a week and you have been adjusting what you eat slowly...yes, no worries about having to deny yourself ALL the processed foods...

...your energy is up, you have that sensation that you have more get-go and you know, you just approach things a bit differently...

You are focused on the plan to burn those last inches of belly fat...and get slimmer and even buff if you can...

...but you DON'T really see much body and belly fat loss yet...what's the deal?

Well, don't fret...losing you belly fat or any body fat does take a week or so to be noticeable. You have to overcome a certain amount of inertia in the way your body deals with your new and varied exercise and diet plan...even if you aren't really changing things so radically.

To get to the point of it: your body can be really lazy

But the thing is, you have to keep up with your new plan otherwise you won't ever lose your belly fat and keep it off.

I know it can be a right headache. You want a flat midriff and a fitter shape...in fact you are probably going for it JUST for a flat stomach...

And you are saying goodbye to eating so much chocolate and cake to get this..and yet at the moment it doesn't appear as if you are even making a dent to get a flatter stomach...

Well, if you really get ticked off, first of all DON'T STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING...

Remember, what you were doing before wasn't giving you a flatter belly so returning to the default position that you were in is not a good option.

Second, just take a photo of what you look like now...Print it out and fix it on your mirror...or have it close that you can look at it on occasion...

Then take another one in a couple of weeks..

You'll see a change..it may only be 5 or 6 pounds of fat loss, but if you are already active and your body isn't really overweight, you'll see you look a bit well...fitter...

AND your belly will be that little bit leaner...so then you'll know...

KEEP GOING!!!

The key with fat loss for men, that little difference for guys I suppose is that we always think about this notion that “I should really be in the gym lifting weights to get fit”...and that will rapidly get me fitter and buff...

And that the exercise and eating thing I’m doing now isn’t doing the job...so I must be doing something wrong!

Well...no. Just have a little patience and keep up what you are doing...
